Good sized double room and bathroom.
Generally all was as expected, and although housekeeping did not come in to refresh supplies, I could easily obtain more teabags etc in the reception area.
I was surprised there was no bath mat, thus the bathroom floor became quite wet unnecessarily.
The staff were all very friendly and welcoming and I would recommend this hotel for it’s location.

It is the largest hotel in Scarborough, with older facilities. The room was small but clean and had a nice view of the sea
